Cool Stuff I Like

Spring, Springtime...Julia made a spring chalk drawing last week, please note the 'Bug teader' (she was going for 'theater').

Hey guess what: today you can check out my first guest post over at Pen Pals & Picture Books! Thanks for having me, Robyn and Whitney! I just adore these two darling ladies, they've become great bloggy pals. They feature loads of amazing book and craft inspiration on their fun, fun site. Go see!

Cool Book of the Week: 'Spork' by Kyo Maclear and Isabelle Arsenault. I'd been hankering to see this darling little book for ages, so happy to have finally read it with J. Even in the world of cutlery, one must struggle to find a happy niche in which to belong, while also holding onto one's individuality. Cutie cute cute this one, we loved it!

Have a lovely weekend! It's been raining nonstop this past week, but I'm hoping it will stop so we can go plant some veggies. Did I tell you we're going to try and plant a veggie garden this year? We've already planted beets and carrots. I'm so excited to see...if anything grows whatsoever.

I'm originally from Ohio, lightning bug capital of the world. I think. We still have them down here in the kinda-south...but not nearly as many. They're really beautiful to watch from your porch as evening settles down. :: home :: ~

Moving on ... a book about sporks? We will have to check this out. Sporks are quite the fascination with my kiddos. We all need somewhere to belong :)

I am going to make a mini terrarium STAT, also I REALLY have a thing for hedgehogs why do I not have more of them on my duvet? And finally its true I never really believed fireflies were a real thing until I spent a summer in the Hudson River Valley in New York and they were going bonkers in the wetlands by my sisters house...they are the most amazing thing!
